Randy--I forgot to mention that Friday Nov 6, there is the San Francisco 
Aquarium Society's monthly meeting that starts at 8:00pm at Steinhardt 
Aquarium in San Francisco's Golden Gate park.  The following night, the 
Pacific Coast Cichlid Association's monthly meeting takes place at the 
Round Table Pizza at Moorpark and Saratoga in San Jose.  The PCCA 
meeting starts at 7:00pm but in actuality, I get there a little after 
5:00pm to get a good seat.  The SF club is more family oriented whereas 
the PCCA is full of cichlid nuts--many having numerous (over 25) tanks.  
Visitors are welcome to attend at both clubs.
